enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Helicase
A
unwinds DNA helix
2
Q
Gyrase
A
cleave (cut) and then reattach one or two of the DNA strands to relieve tension created by the unwinding process
3
Q
DNA Ligase
A
Forms the phosphodiester bond that joins the neds of DNA that make up the Okazaki fragments
4
Q
RNA primase
A
Places RNA primers on template strand
5
Q
SSB
A
stops the two separated parent strands from annealing (reattaching)
6
Q
RNA primer
A
acts as starting stand for DNA polymerase
7
Q
DNA Polymerase I
A
digests RNA primer and replaces it with DNA
8
Q
DNA Polymerase III
A
extends RNA primer with short lengths of complementary DNA
9
Q
RNA polymerase
A
Transcribes DNA to make RNA
